Correction - 02/18/2010

I must correct my previous review. Upon closer observation, I am able to see the low-light improvement in the new Monarch iii 8x42 over the old Monarch ATB 8x42. It is subtle and takes practice before one notices it, but it is definitely there. Great bins made better ---at a price you can't beat for the quality!

As Good as Ever - 01/30/2010

I was lucky enough to get a pair of the Monarch iii 8x42 in January from Eagle Optics. First, let me say that this is a great pair of bins and well worth the money. Now, a slight bit of downside: As far as I can tell, they are no better than their predecessor Monarch ATB 8x42's. Since they advertise the new dielectric coating I was hoping for a noticeable improvement in low light conditions. But, comparing as carefully as I could with my wife's older Monarchs, I just can't see the difference. Maybe it is there in a careful laboratory measurement, but it sure isn't apparent to me. So, please don't throw away your old Monarchs to upgrade to this pair ---but if you are looking to upgrade from some lesser brand/pair of bins, this is a great choice.
